Question

Observe the following pattern
22 − 12 = 2 + 1
32 − 22 = 3 + 2
42 − 32 = 4 + 3 
52 − 42 = 5 + 4
and find the value of 

992 − 962

Solution

From the pattern, we can say that the difference between the squares of two consecutive numbers is the sum of the numbers itself.
In a formula:

`(n+1)^2-(n)^2=(n+1)+n`

Observe the following pattern \[1 = \frac{1}{2}\left\{ 1 \times \left( 1 + 1 \right) \right\}\]
\[ 1 + 2 = \frac{1}{2}\left\{ 2 \times \left( 2 + 1 \right) \right\}\]
\[ 1 + 2 + 3 = \frac{1}{2}\left\{ 3 \times \left( 3 + 1 \right) \right\}\]

Observe the following pattern \[1^2 = \frac{1}{6}\left[ 1 \times \left( 1 + 1 \right) \times \left( 2 \times 1 + 1 \right) \right]\]
\[ 1^2 + 2^2 = \frac{1}{6}\left[ 2 \times \left( 2 + 1 \right) \times \left( 2 \times 2 + 1 \right) \right]\]
\[ 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 = \frac{1}{6}\left[ 3 \times \left( 3 + 1 \right) \times \left( 2 \times 3 + 1 \right) \right]\]
\[ 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 = \frac{1}{6}\left[ 4 \times \left( 4 + 1 \right) \times \left( 2 \times 4 + 1 \right) \right]\] and find the values :
